Kidd, who pleaded not guilty to a DWI charge after crashing his car into a telephone pole early Sunday morning, appeared to be "incredibly drunk" while out at a club earlier in the night, a witness told TMZ.

Kidd reportedly tried to hang from a club light during the charity event, and had to be carried out of the club upon leaving around 1 a.m. The new Knicks point guard, who signed a three-year deal with the team on Thursday, reportedly drove off after being carried out despite protests from his friends.

Officers responded to the crash at 1:56 a.m., police said. Kidd had no passengers in his SUV, and no other vehicles were involved. He suffered minor injuries and is now awaiting further court proceedings, his attorney told TMZ.
